As I was walking home today...
I spotted a car on the side of the road. Walked past it almost without incident when I noticed something stuck in one of the rear windows. Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a for sale sign...

...Which identified the car as a 2001 Honda Accord.

So, being a long-time mostly-lurker of these boards, I giggled a bit and kept reading, until I got to the bottom, where the seller put his contact information.

The e-mail address was, I shit you not, [email protected].

I burst into laughter on the spot, getting several funny looks from passersby. I don't get it. I live in freaking Canada! I don't even know anyone else who knows about this place, and it's not like I live in a huge city or anything...

I can only come to the conclusion that someone in my town is b3tatrapping.

» The Soundtrack of your Life


At the risk of sounding melodramatic, my life hasn't exactly been made of glitter and sparkly fairydust. It's actually been pretty damn shit for the last several years, but from lurking I know loads of you have had it worse, so I'll keep my mouth shut on that count for now.

And while the entire Break The Cycle album by Staind gets an honorable mention for helping me channel all the crap I was dealing with into writing through being on loop for hours upon hours, simultaneously annoying the holy hell out of my neighbours, the song I'd like to nominate is Laurel Canyon by Free Dominguez.

I believe it can still be found on her myspace, link below. (I'd do a fancy link thing but I don't know what sort of format these boards use, apologies.)

This song has done the impossible for me, cheered me up when I thought the whole world was against me and nothing would ever be right again. Even now, when I listen to it, I get this sort of bittersweet happiness, not because of the song itself but because I remember how far away those feelings used to be...

Damn. I didn't want my first post to be anywhere near this pathetic. Ah well. Better luck next time?
